  • Do you use youtube mainly?

    Yes, though not through the website or app

    Do you care about clickbait?

    I don’t often see it as I use DeArrow, but if I do see it, I just move on unless it’s a video that interests me.

    Did clickbait make you stop seeing some creator?

    Kinda? Part of it was just getting tired of their style/growing out of it.

    Did you use youtube but clickbait (among other things) made you to stop using it’s platform?

    No, I still use it.

    Do you think clickbait is the major of the YouTube’s problems?

    I think there are bigger issues than clickbait on YouTube, such as the sex bots in comments and inappropriate ads

    Do you see something good in clickbait among the bad things? Like, which ones?

    I don’t see anything good in clickbait, but it’s not something real bad either. To me, it’s more of just something that exists and nothing else.

    Could we see clickbait as a necessary evil?

    It’s a subjective opinion and differs between people. I personally don’t see it as a “necessary evil”, but maybe someone else does.

    I created a pacman wrapper script to automate updating my system (Arch BTW), logging what was updated in a sorted directory based on the current week range, as well as the update progress. My Arch system broke after an update, so this will help me narrow down what packages could have broken it if it does break again.

    I also have a script to automatically build android APKs from source, sign it with my own key, and copy it to a Syncthing directory. Most useful when creating my own apps.

    One last notable one: I created a script to download a file to a hard drive and store it in a directory based on the domain of the URL. I plan to add a recursive mode next so I can download multiple files at once.

    I created some aliases and function to simplify certain commands, such as v for nvim, lsal for ls -al, and cn for clear && neofetch.

    Overall, I’m happy with what I have created. I doubt I’m the first to make some of these scripts, and I’m sure they’re not the best, but they work for my use case.



  • KeePassXC (Desktop) and KeePassDX (mobile). Offline, local-only password manager. There’s also a Firefox browser extension for it too.

    If you need it to sync between devices, Syncthing gets the job done by syncing the DB file.

    I don’t trust any cloud solutions. You’re trusting some random company with your passwords. Data breach is inevitable.




  • Burnout 3 is one of the best arcade racing games for this generation.

    I see you have Kingdom Hearts II in there. There’s also the original Kingdom Hearts as well.

    The Simpsons: Hit & Run is like GTA but more “family-friendly”.

    There’s also other Ratchet & Clank games on the PS2, including the original, Going Commando, and Deadlocked.

    If you like racing games, Need for Speed: Underground 2 is one of the best games in the NFS series. IMO it’s better than Underground 1.

    Also, appreciate the guide for higher res textures.
